How to create a website color scheme
A website color scheme should support usability first. Beautiful colors are helpful, but visitors also need to read text, recognize buttons and understand where to click. That means contrast and hierarchy matter.
Use a color palette generator to create a base direction, then assign each color a role: background, text, accent, button, section color or highlight. This makes the palette easier to apply in web design.
For a calm website, use soft backgrounds with strong readable text. For a more expressive website, use bright accents carefully. Always test your colors on mobile, because contrast can feel different on smaller screens.
